Do you ever have something everyone seems to love but you just can't figure out the draw? That's Friends for me, though over the years I've learned to feign enjoyment for the show for the sake of social cohesion.
It's simply not very funny, especially 25+ years later, except for a couple of Chandler's jokes. The acting is poor and the show is boring as the six friends sit in their apartment talking to each other; the season bylines are who will date who. I know it was the 90's but the show is just so bland.
I've seen every episode of every season and tried rewatching a few after Matthew Perry tragically died. I really wanted to change my mind.....but it's still bad. There is so much better television out there. It was bad then and it is bad now.
The best thing about this show back in the day was we were closer to watching Seinfeld.
